“…Several additional parasite-host associations have been reported recently for two widely distributed mites, Coccipolipus macfarlanei Husband and Coccipolipus hippodamiae McDaniel and Morrill. Coccipolipus macfarlanei was found on Coccinella septempunctata L. and on Coccinella undecimpunctata L. in Iran (Hajiqanbar et al, 2007). Coccipolipus (Tetrapolipus) hippodamiae was recently found attacking several coccinellids in Europe, including Adalia decempunctata (L.), Synharmonia conglobata (L.), and Calvia quatuordecimguttata (L.) .…”

“…Although most species live ectoparasitically underneath the elytra of their hosts, some are endoparasites found in host reproductive organs or tracheal systems (Hajiqanbar et al, 2007). Their horizontal transmission is greatly facilitated via social contact between mating (Knell and Webberley, 2004) or overwintering coccinellid hosts (Webberley and Hurst, 2002).…”

Natural enemies of the Coccinellidae: Parasites, pathogens, and parasitoids

2009

a b s t r a c tWe review aspects of the life histories of representative enemies of coccinellids (both entomophagous and phytophagous species) and expose both potential and real effects that they have on life parameters of their hosts. Lady beetles are attacked by a variety of natural enemies (bacteria, fungi, mites, nematodes, protozoa, wasps, flies). Few of these enemies have the ability to alter significantly the population dynamics of their hosts. This review should encourage further research to help define the role of natural enemies in the population dynamics of coccinellids. Ultimately, the conservation of beneficial lady beetles and the management of nuisance and pestiferous ones should be major emphases of research on coccinellid-natural enemy interactions.Published by Elsevier Inc.

Living with the enemy: parasites and pathogens of the ladybird Harmonia axyridis

et al. 2011

Harmonia axyridis is an invasive alien predator in many countries across the world. The rapid establishment and spread of this species is of concern because of the threat it poses to biodiversity as a generalist predator. Understanding the mechanisms that contribute to the success of this species as an invader is not only intriguing but also critical to our understanding of the processes governing such invasions. The enemy release hypothesis (ERH) could explain the rapid population growth of many invasive alien species. However, empirical evidence in support of the ERH is lacking. An alternative hypothesis that could explain rapid population growth is evolution of increased competitive ability (EICA).Here we provide an overview of the parasites and pathogens of coccinellids with a particular focus on H. axyridis as a host. We examine the differential susceptibility of host species and highlight the resilience of H. axyridis in comparison to other coccinellids. We recognise the paucity and limitations of available information and suggest that studies, within a life-table framework, comparing life history traits of H. axyridis in both the native and introduced ranges are necessary. We predict that H. axyridis could benefit from both enemy release and EICA within the introduced range but require further empirical evidence.

“…Three species of Locustacarus are endoparasites in the tracheal system of their hosts (two species on acridids and one species on bumblebees). Locustacarus spp., along with three species of Ovacarus Stannard & Vaishampayan, 1971 and Parobia lawsoni Seeman & Nahrung, 2005, constitute true endoparasites of the family Podapolipidae (see Stannard & Vaishampayan, 1971;Husband, 1974;Husband & Husband, 1996;Seeman & Nahrung, 2005;Hajiqanbar et al, 2007). Podapolipus includes 29 ectoparasitic species in which two species parasitise Blattodea, 12 species Coleoptera and 15 species Acrididae (see Husband et al, 2008), but only Podapolipoides has an exclusive association with grasshoppers.…”
